4/10 Fair

Disgusting smell
Unfortunately my stay was marred by a disgusting smell of sewage in room 1003. This seemed to come from the bathroom drains and was most pungent in the evening and early the next morning. Possibly a problem with the hotel plumbing system. No one wants to smell it when other guests go to the toilet. The lady on reception was apologetic and moved me to a different room without issue. However, this problem resulted in a bad experience overall.

Reading ibis
Most of my stay was fine for the night that I stayed at the hotel the main issue I had was in the morning when I tried to shower the water wasn’t very warm and in patches it heated up then went very cold while showering. I feel this wasn’t the best way to start my day if am honest
